When my dd was little I would try to get her to do puzzles the same way you are doing, to no avail! Sorry, I wish I could help more. I think Mia is right though, some people have their own method of putting them together.

You know, I always tried to show my DS4 how to do the edges first. Thanks for the reminder that they do things their own way. I guess I should have known that based on how he does everything else, but I will just let him do it however he does it next time. He does like jigzone.com, he can just piece it together however he wants. Plus he gets annoyed sometimes with real puzzles because he knocks the side and then a bunch of pieces move . That doesn't happen on the computer I guess.
